I'm not sure if you are asking a question or answering a question that I didn't see looking back over the previous page of posts.
Either way, I'll expand a little.
Druid taunt, Warrior taunt, and Paladin taunt (RD), as you say, benefit only from melee +hit. This was changed many patches ago, as all taunts used to rely on spell hit, making it difficult for warriors, for example, to improve their hit rate on taunt.
However, in all other ways, all three taunt abilities are still treated as a spell. This means that the miss rate on taunt for the three classes is 17% against a level 73 (or boss) opponent, and means that 1% of that can not be done away with, no matter how much you stack +hit.
It also means that you cannot taunt if you are silenced, I believe, even for warriors and druids.
